For the LIGHT.
THE PUZZLED PoETAsTER.

Some sickly lines / wrote one day
And sent them to a paper near,
All bosh they were, but right away,
Did they all there In print appear.
Encouraged then seized my pen.
And wrote again with all my mind,
In quite thought, an attic strain
That left the former far behind.
"If such poor stuff as first wrote,
He thought was ut and fair to print,
What must he think of this, i thought.
When he shall dive full deeply in'tr'
But ne'er saw my poem more.
The price OF so much ink and oil,
Besides, which made me feel full sore,
The loss of precious time and toll.
Ellis sub must sure be sick" said,
Whose place 1t was my rhyme to scan,'
And on such hopes my fancy fed,
Till in the streets | met the man,
Who told me in a civil way
That had better dOff my muse:"
"Such weak illusions did not pay
THAT he in future must refuse"
ITO give place for them outright"
save in W Este basket at his ieet;"
Then left me daZed as out Of sight,
He passed far down the crowded street

JOIN THF PROCESSION.

San Antonio cannot afford to lag be-
hind the procession. Take up any jour
nal published in any half dozen of the
leading cities of this state. and you will
find in them outward and visible signs
Of material increase. Galveston, Hous-
ton, Waco, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth,
all have caught the spirit Of municipal
improvement and business increase.
Railway enterprises are projected here,
municipal improvements there; In one
city manufacturing industries are en-
listing all the energy and capital OF pub
lic-spirited citizens, and in another,
works OF municipal Improvements are
projected. Texas IL fairly humming
with business life. The only lull in the
swelling sounds OF her progress is
caused by hesitsncy in the western
part Of the state, owing to uncertainty
OF stock ventures on account of a dry
winter and rsinless spring. There is
no uncertainty felt or expressed con-
oerning the future Of the state. Every
city Ia 1t expects to become a centre Of
population, the point from which shall
radiate q vast system OF railways,
around which shall cluster very world
OF industrial movement. Making all due
allowance for the exaggerstions Of the
over ssnguine there yet remains a solid
basis Of fact upon which to build sub
stsntisl hopes for such q progress as
few states have witnessed in the west
ern rush for empire. In this struggle for
municipal supremacy, San Antonio GER
tainly has no thought Of being left be-
hind. But like the old song, she is too
much Inclined to wait for the Wagon
instead Of Harvesting up her own mules
and making the journey on her own sc-
count. San Antonio, In her own little
corner of the vineyard, is often put
down by Houston and Dallas and Fort
Worth and Galveston, as out OF the race
for municipal place. San Antonio has
hitherto held her own and held 1t well.
All the booming OF northern Texas has
not availed to take away from her the
position she holds as the chief city of the
state. She has natural advantages no
other city possesses. She has elements
of increase at her command that can not
be found within the possibilities of any
other city on this continent. She has a
future before here such as few imagine.
Circumstances, fully as much as her own
supineness, have conspired to give her
business men an appearance Of lethargy
that the majority OF them do not possess
Times are changing, circumstances too
and In their changes San Antonio il
awaking out Of her sleep. The past five
years have been more fruitful for San
Antonio's increase than any ten of heI
past. The coming five will be as these
past five, but much more abundantly.

A NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one for
about ID years. At intervals of about week
would be attacked with spells of severe and
most excrucisting pain, always commencing
in the region of my kidneys. The pain would
then go upwards and affect my body and head
and seemed to penetrate my very eye-balls,
creating the most intense suffering, lasting
about eight hours each spell.
resorted to all kinds OF medicine without
benefit. Several doctors treated my case, but
none gave relief. l finally used B. B. y. as an
experiment, and to my utter establishment all
pain and suffering vanished after using three
doses To the present time ] have used three
bottles, and not pain has ever returned. |
do not know what was the matter, neither
could my physician name the complaint. The
B. B. b. acted finely and powerfully upon my
kidneys; my appetite has been splendid and
my constitution built up rapidly.

Another Life Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, OF Cincinnati, o.,
writes: EARLY last winter my daughter was
attacked with severe cold, which settled on
her lungs. We tried several medicines; none
seemed to do her any good, but she con-
tinued to get worse, and finally raised large
amounts of blood from her lungs. We called
in family physician, but he failed to do her
any good. AT this time a friend, who had
been cured by DIR. WIN. HALLS BALsAM FOR
THE LUNGS, advised me to give it trial. We
then got a bottle, and she began to improve,
and by the use of three bottles was entirely
